Abstract
The high-rate (> 100°C see −) decomposition characteristics of a multicomponent liquid gun propellant containing hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN), triethanol ammonium nitrate (TEAN), and water are described with the rapidscan FTIR thermal profiling technique. The decomposition characteristics of the HAN and TEAN components were examined and then compared to the pyrolysis behavior of the liquid gun propellant 1845 (LGP1845). A four-step process that describes the major events occurring during the fast thermal decomposition and ignition of LGP1845 is presented.
